@django Yeah. I’m just using the reader view in the browser. Is it that web sites have reader views for individual articles but no longer update an index of some kind?

@smokinjoe An interesting reaction to react is Svelte: https://svelte.dev/. Instead of sending an entire application to the browser and making the poor client run all of it, do a crap ton of compute and calculation at build time. Send minimal code and computation to the browser. Totally different paradigm.

@Rentlar yeah. I use it that way too. But I think discord is as useful a “knowledge store” as iMessage. I mean, nobody would think of iMessage like a knowledge store. I joined an open source thing I bought of a kickstarter-like site. They had no FAQ. No wiki. Just “join our discord”. So every technical question was either buried in random chat, or pinned at the top of the “general” channel. Terrible way to support users.
@Rentlar when information is not open to indexing and search, I don’t think it qualifies as knowledge. I hate that aspect of discord
@assbutt @Cipher @maynarkh @freeman (replying from mastodon in case this looks weird)
Many ActivityPub services allow you to seamlessly transfer your profile from one instance to another. It even sends messages that let your followers update so they follow you at your new address. Moving profiles isn’t a big deal. It’s Ok if they join a big instance at first, and move later.
There are compelling reasons why new folks join big instances and it’s not definitely a bad thing. Although this blog focuses mostly on the #twittermigration and #mastodon, it does discuss the #redditMigration and I think it makes strong points.

@django I obviously didn’t know that. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
